USE OF BOUNDARY DOGS
ALLEGATIONS OF NEGLECT NO PRESENT EVIDENCE (Per Press Association.) W7LLINGTON, last night. Complaints were recently investigated by the Government of the doubtful consideration shown toward dogs chained to kennels on boundary lines and at the bridge-points of some Dominion stations to hold sheep within particular areas. The Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, in a statement issued to-day, said he had been concerned with the complaints in that it was alleged that boundary dogs were being placed on some stations with little shelter, water or food. An investigation had shown that if those were the conditions of dogs in past years, they did not now exist. Further inquiries were being made to secure the co-operation of sheepowners in stopping the practice altogether.
